Pass HTML5 first time or train again for free. This is our guarantee. We’re confident you’ll pass your course first time. But if not, come back within a year and only pay for accommodation, exams and incidental costs

You’ll learn more. A day with a traditional training provider generally runs from 9am – 5pm, with a nice long break for lunch. With Firebrand Training you’ll get at least 12 hours/day quality learning time, with your instructor

You’ll learn HTML5 faster. Chances are, you’ll have a different learning style to those around you. We combine visual, auditory and tactile styles to deliver the material in a way that ensures you will learn faster and more easily

You’ll be studying HTML5 with the best. We’ve been named in Training Industry’s “Top 20 IT Training Companies of the Year” every year since 2010. As well as winning many more awards, we’ve trained and certified 72,074 professionals, and we’re partners with all of the big names in the business

You'll do more than study Firebrand's courseware. We use practical exercises to make sure you can apply your new knowledge to the work environment. Our instructors use demonstrations and real-world experience to keep the day interesting and engaging

Learn the basics of HTML5/CSS3/JavaScript programming in just three days. That's 50% faster than traditional training. Microsoft's Programming in HTML5 with JavaScript and CSS3 course is your entry point into the Web application training path.

After this course you'll be able to use HTML5/CSS3/JavaScript to:

Implement programming logic

Define and use variables

Perform looping and branching

Develop user interfaces

Capture and validate user input

Store data

Create well-structured applications

You'll be shown the structures of various application scenarios through lab sessions. Their purpose is to focus on the principles and coding components/structures used to establish an HTML5 software application.

This course uses Visual Studio 2012, running on Windows 8.

On this course, you'll also build an app that combines key features of the .NET Framework 4.5. You'll be prepared for and sit exam 70-480: Programming in HTML5 with JavaScript and CSS3 at the Firebrand training centre, during the course. This is covered by your Certification Guarantee.

Passing the 70-480 exam fulfils one of the elective requirements for the MCSA: Web applications certification.

Note:Exam 70-480 also previously resulted in achieving the Microsoft Specialist: Programming in HTML5 with JavaScript and CSS3.

Microsoft retired the Specialist credential as of 31 March, 2017. The exams remain available and where applicable will count towards the relevant existing MCSA, MCSE or MCSD certification.
